DEVIL’S TRAIN – s/t (CD)

Now we’re talking!! It was actually a long time since I started headbanging by the computer while listening to a CD. International collaboration Devil’s Train, featuring singer R.D. Liapakis (Mystic Prophecy), guitarist Laki Ragazas, bassist Jari Kainulainen (Stratovarius) and drummer Jörg Michael (Stratovarius) relay melts together in a highly interesting and powerful way. This is a pretty classic melodic metal album, but the songs have a drive and energy I miss in so many of today’s bands. I’d compare this to Victory’s album Voiceprint, which is another album which may not be an album full of bells and whistles, but it’s just a damn great album to rock out to. This album kicks out rocker after rocker with killer vocals, awesome guitar playing and a sound that really kicks ass. Yes, that’s is – this is an asskicker with a  capital A!!
